Course Highlights
Shannondell's challenging doglegs, thick rough, and well-maintained fairways and greens consistently reward golfers who return for its scenic layout. Friendly staff, smooth pace of play, and a well-regarded restaurant make it a favorite worth revisiting.

About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 70
Length 6122 yards
Slope 121
Rating 69.9

The Club at Shannondell, formerly known as George Washington Golf Course, has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of the "25 Best Golf Courses in Pennsylvania" and it's also on their list of "Best Places to Play." From the back tees, the course is just over 6,100 yards. Put away your driver because there won't be many chances to grip it and rip it on this course. It's a seemingly mild layout with wide, gently rolling fairways that appear forgiving, but the strategically placed hazards along the pitched greens demand well placed shots. The cut of the rough is also higher and there are several doglegs, placing even further emphasis on accuracy. Proper club selection is also very important on this golf course. The Club at Shannondell is a fun but fair test for players of all skill levels.

Course ok

Too many severe dog legs for a shorter hitter..

Course was in good condition considering the amount of RAIN that we had that week. Longer players in the group who have never been there were not happy not being able to hit driver on par 4's and. 1 par 5

Played this course during a federal holiday. Arrived for tee time and was told they are over 30 minutes behind schedule and no carts available. Had to wait around to eventually play a 5 and a half hour round which included walking the first hole until a cart was available.

8 minute tee times and essentially no ranger monitoring pace of play lead to an absolute disaster. Only thing that prevented the day from being miserable was nice staff and course was in solid condition.

Management needs to do better they let customers and staff down.

Fun course to play

Nice Course. Pace of play was excellent. Course conditions great. Greens were challenging, difficult to read and a tad slow.

Extremely poor pace and rude staff

Round took 5.5+ hours, and not the first time this has happened here. Two sons with their dad were claiming they worked for the course and were verbally harassing the group that I was playing with. Bragging about playing free golf and chirping obscenities at us. I’m never playing here again. Even the starter is awful princess ignores everybody and is rude. Waste of money to sit in the cart on a tee box and watch hacks chip it down the fairway

Calling a starter, who is a minor , a “princess” weird comment. And yes 5.5 hours on a weekend at a public course with “hacks” as you call them. What else do you expect? Go join a Country Club

Enjoyable Round

The course was in good shape. Ground crew turn off their equipment when I took a shot. Met three other gentlemen and we all had a great time. I already book a reservation for my next golf experience.
